PSALM 30Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.301I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.2O Lord my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.3O Lord, You have brought up my soul from [N]I.e. the nether world Sheol; You have kept me alive, [O]Some mss read from among those who go downthat I would not go down to the pit.4Sing praise to the Lord, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy [P]Lit memorialname.5For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.6Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, “I will never be moved.”7O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You hid Your face, I was dismayed.8To You, O Lord, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication:9“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?10“Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me; O Lord, be my helper.”11You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,12That my[Q]Lit glorysoul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
